Is your ABS and TCS light on? This should help!



I peeled back the wire loom off the harness between the knuckle and lower control arm. It only takes a few minutes to pull it off. If the wires broke you will see the hard plastic covering or whatever that crap is on the wires busted up right away. I didn't replace it. I just soldered it. The wire was pretty corroded but I used some contact cleaner to get the wire in good enough shape for solder to stick to.
 
Yea.. If you want to keep on replacing it... Better stick to something like timken/Moog etc that has a 3 year warranty and grab it locally so exchanging to isn't a hassle.

my quick check on wheel bearings, grab the top of the wheel(car on the ground) and shake it toward you then away. if there is any play, bad bearing. If you can't move the tire go inside and find your big boy pants, and try again. if there is no play your good to go!!

Not always. I had zero play in a bad bearing before.
 


how about not having an abs light on at all (no the bulb isnt blown or missing) but TCS light is always illuminated showing "tcs off" and pushing the button on the dic does nothing?

I am having this same issue. It would be nice to have some insight into it, although it is still probably going to be a bearing..
 
So thereS a wire for each side right? The person who owned the car before decided to cut the wire on the pass anger side and I have no idea where on loom this wire sits.. can anyone take a picture e of theirs or tell me where I can finds this wire. My TCS/ and ABS lights have been on since I got .. I have replaced the wheel bearings already

There is a bracket right behind the brake rotor that holds the connector. From there is runs along the a arm, then up into the wheel well. (Take the plastic splash cover off). The pass side runs up to, and along the top of the engine cradle.

I can't speak for the drivers side, my pass side harness was bad, and the drivers side hub was bad.

Key on, engine off unplug the connectors. You should see close to 5v between the two pins coming from the car harness.

You can also switch your meter to ohms and measure the two pins looking at the hub. You should have some resistance (I forget the value). But if you see an open circuit there, then it's the hub that is bad.


The factory piece is 2 wires, inside of plastic tube, inside wire loom. Once I pulled back the wire loom, I found the bad spot. It seems like that factory plastic tube holds moisture in, gets brittle and causes problems.
